Chapter 265 - Side Story 52: Young Devils Gathering And His Conquerors

Ein, Bayonetta, and Karna went to the underworld with the kids so they could sightsee in hell. Staying at the Gremory household. In which they just walked in without any regard whatsoever of course.

"Yo, Venelana, Zeoticus, Sirzechs. We're gonna use your guest room for a bit, m'kay? By the way, they're my queens, Karna and Bayonetta. You already kinda know my kids too of course." Ein introduced them and Sirzechs looked at them with interest.

"Wait, did you say queens? But they aren't devils though?" Venelana was confused and Ein scoffed. "Of course they aren't I didn't reincarnate them or anything. I gave them, potential. To ascend to godhood on their lonesome." Ein puffed his chest and the devils winced.

"Hah, they're already so powerful. How much do you want them to grow?" Zeoticus was exasperated and Ein smiled. "Yes."

"A-anyways. Welcome to the Gremory household." Venelana smiled at them and Karna nodded. "Hmmm, this place is quite nice indeed. Definitely a home with class." Bayonetta observed the surroundings and it quite fit her tastes.

"Glad to hear it then, please excuse me. We're preparing for the gathering of the young devils. Please do enjoy your stay here." Sirzechs teleported and Grayfia led them to a saloon, so they could talk and have some tea.

At Romania, one Arcueid was walking the dreary streets of the place. "Ain't this place a bit too, I don't know. Gloomy?" Astolfo noticed that the place was basically a ghost town.

"Ein-sama did tell us that the two different factions of this place, the Carmilla and Tepes vampires are at odds. Maybe it's because of that?" Atalanta sniffed the air and her ears twitched. Noticing the smell of blood.

"Hmmm, I can smell their stench." Arcueid closed her eyes and sensed the vampires in the area. She then tried finding the scent of males. As that was the place where Valerie should be. The Tepes faction was a male dominated organization after all.

"The filthy men are over there, ugh. Their stench is rank and it makes me want to puke." Arcueid frowned heavily as she got into an even worse mood.

Astolfo and Atalanta got nervous, seeing their ruler's mood getting more sour by the second. "Atalanta, use Phoebus Catastrophe in that direction." Arcueid pointed at the hidden territory of the Tepes.

"Uhh, wouldn't that be really bad?" Atalanta was hesitating as her noble phantasm was like an artillery barrage. And their target, Valerie Tepes might get roped into the blast radius.

"Do it, or I'll show this to everyone." Arcueid took out a clip and it was in private where Atalanta knocked at Ein's door with a brush, fidgeting and excited. She then entered the door and went out a few minutes later with a satisfied smile on her face. Her tail swaying left and right.

Atalanta gasped and Astolfo stared at her with a raised brow. "That's not what it looks like! I just got my fur brushed!" Atalanta went an atomic red and Astolfo hummed.

"We didn't misunderstand, so you probably imagined getting more, huh?" Astolfo smirked at her and Arcueid snickered.

"Ugh, fine!" Atalanta drew her bow and aimed it at the sky. "I offer thee this calamity! Phoebus Catastrophe!" She released an arrow in the sky and it shone brightly, bathing the gloomy city with light.

Arrows of light then began raining at the main base of the Tepes faction. The barrage destroyed their defenses and showed their castle to the whole world. But it didn't stop there, the magic that sustained the defenses went dry and Atlanta's noble phantasm kept on making it rain.

"Astolfo, clean up the riffraff that will remain." Arcueid ordered and the pink haired paladin nodded, summoning a hippogriff to ride as he went to the epicenter of Atalanta's initial barrage.

The vampire mobs saw the phantasmal beast and they were shocked. Seeing a flat chested girl with a sword coming in hot. (pic)

"Kyahahaha! Too bad boys, you'll be dying today!" Astolfo started using his riding skill and killed the vampires who survived, quickly.

They used shadow magic and tried chaining him down with it. Conjuring whips and chains made of shadows. But they couldn't keep up with his speed.

Every survivor began pelting him with balls of shadows and magic arrows. But Astolfo just laughed, tanking everything that was thrown at him. He had a pretty strong magic resistance that would block everything that high class beings and below would throw at him.

"That tickles! How about this! My special garlic confit oil!" Astolfo threw bottles of olive oil that was used to confit garlic. But he was shocked when it didn't really do anything except annoy them.

"Impossible... Was their legend in being weak to garlic false!?" Astolfo couldn't believe it and Arcueid smacked him on the head for playing around. Making Astolfo and his mount crash to the ground as a meteor, killing most of the survivors that are left.

"One of my favorite foods is Ein-sama's aglio e olio, you twat. Of course garlic doesn't work on vampires." Arcueid's veins on her temples bulged and she got annoyed at Astolfo.

"Sorry, hehehe~ Gasper just really hates them, so I thought it was true!" Astolfo tried reasoning, but Arcueid just stared at him with her arms across each other.

"I'm sorry." Astolfo hung his head low and Atalanta rolled her eyes. "You, filthy bloodsucker. Where's the rest of your garbage clan?" Arcueid picked up an injured vampire and lifted him up with a claw grip on his face.

"I don't know! I don't know!" He vehemently denied and Arcueid immediately popped his head like a watermelon, his resistance quickly turning into intermittent twitching.

"Okay, this guy doesn't know. So I'm gonna ask you one by one until somebody does, and I don't take no for answers." Arcueid walked up to another and asked again. He didn't really know, but that wasn't the deal. As she threw him to the side and his limbs and neck started twisting around.

"Next." The blonde true ancestor wiped her hand with a handkerchief like a real bourgeoisie and began interrogating the vampires.

They were pretty tight lipped, but they saw that she got crueler and more brutal as time went on. Her patience running thin. And the last guy she asked turned inside out.

"They're not far away from here! Marius Tepes and King Tepes are waging war against the Carmilla faction by using their relative's powers!" A vampire croaked and Arcueid nodded in satisfaction.

"Good choice, now I'll let you go." Arcueid gestured for him to escape and the vampire anxiously ran with his remaining friendlies. But they all exploded once they turned their backs.

"I'll let you go to the afterlife that is. Filthy bastards, letting me wait this long to answer." Arcueid huffed and her two companions got really concerned.

She was a sweet and laid back lady at home, a little lewd too whenever she feeds on Ein. But when she gets in a bad mood, Arcueid has no empathy and sympathy like a true ultimate being. It also didn't help that drinking Ein's blood and using his genes would make her extremely aggressive.

"Let's go, I don't want to spend much time here." Arcueid walked in the air, creating invisible platforms as the two followed suit.

And not that far from them, the Carmilla faction that was a female dominated organization was losing badly.

"Why are they much stronger!? We were dead equal a few months ago!" One of the vampires in the Carmilla faction who was an elite was struggling against a group of mooks.

"We don't know! We need to retreat, right now!" Their leader held off the invading Tepes vampires as the rear guard. And they were losing many women doing so.

"Damn it! Why's this happening!? Where's our support!" Another cried out as she received a slash on her, incapacitating another soldier. Experiencing the old age no support crisis.

But when all hope seems lost, they heard footsteps from the sky that resounded throughout the battlefield. Seeing a beautiful, blonde woman that's wearing a dress in such an inappropriate setting.

"Hmmm, you there. You a part of the Carmilla faction?" She asked their leader who had many cuts and wounds on her self that wasn't healing even with their regenerative powers.

"Uhh. Yes." The leader couldn't help but answer as she was compelled to. Subconsciously obeying a true ancestor. Their progenitors that are basically vampire gods.

"I can see as much, they're being upgraded by something." Atalanta and Astolfo noticed a weird magic on them, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

Arcueid's eyes changed once again and she stared at them. Freezing the Tepes vampires in place from her oppressing aura. "So that's how they use Gasper's friend... Her sacred gear must have something to do with the soul. Their concepts have changed, they have increased resistances to holy objects and strength as well. Their souls are tethered to one place, and it's right over there." Arcueid quickly concluded and squinted her eyes.

"Tch, this is above our knowledge. Souls are really delicate, I think Gasper's friend is in huge trouble." Astolfo immediately brandished his sword and Atalanta wanted to rescue their target quickly.

"I'll handle this, it will be faster. I Arcueid Brunestud, the kaleid blood. Releases your constraints and summon you. The 9th familiar, come! Sagittarius Enatos, Al-Nasl-Minium, Bicorn of Deep Crimson. Shatter the enemies by my will." Arcueid summoned one of her familiars as the kaleid blood. Given to her by Ein.

A large bicorn appeared that had a mane and tail of crimson flames. It neighed and rubbed its head on Arcueid's hand.

Astolfo and Atalanta was hit like a truck by the construct of mana and they had to flare up theirs in order to protect themselves.

The vampires in the area kneeled and trembled, shivering in fear at the familiar. As well as the master.

"Get rid of these trash, Al." Arcueid ordered their execution and the bicorn neighed. It controlled the particle vibrations in front of it. Loosening up the atomic bonds and in turn. Making everything in its path turn into their most simple chemical forms.

Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus, calcium, nitrogen, sodium, potassium, chlorine, sulfur, and magnesium.

Atalanta and Astolfo gasped, seeing the once human beings turn into dust right before their very eyes. Nothing, just pure elements. Gone, reduced to atoms.

"Atalanta, I don't know about you. But I think I don't wanna know why Arcueid is our ruler class even further. Did you hear her? That bicorn was just one of her familiars!" Astolfo shouted out to Atalanta in a whisper.

"I did... That thing was insane. I don't think any of us can fight against that. Surtr-san might be able to resist it. But that's because he is pure magic. I am sure that thing has many more attacks." Atalanta cowered with Astolfo as they hugged each other. Having a nervous gulp, not wanting to piss Arcueid off even further.

"I can see where their souls are anchored, I think I'll give off a fantastic show to make the world know the presence of the kaleid blood." Arcueid smirked and her companions nodded quickly.

"You, tell the Carmilla faction that we will handle it from here. The emperor's conquerors are here for one of their people." Arcueid carried Atalanta and Astolfo with telekinesis and rode on the bicorn.

"Al-Nasl-Minium. Take us to that location." The familiar neighed and started galloping towards a certain direction.

"W-we need to tell the queen." The leader regained her wits and looked at the total annihilation Arcueid caused.

"Dear gods... Everything in front of them as far as the horizon is gone. A complete and utter annihilation." The vampires of the Carmilla looked at the hole her attack left and they couldn't see the bottom.

At the Tepes castle, Marius Tepes. The one who was experimenting on the owner of Sephiroth Graal cackled like a madman.

"Father, soon our troops will definitely take over the accursed Carmilla faction. And we will be the true vampire house in the country!" Marius smirked and thought it was near. He would then oust the king, his father with the help of Khaos Brigade. A terrorist organization that was made by Ophis to fight great red.

"That is so, son. That is so. I never knew that my useless daughter would now be so vital for our success!" King Tepes reveled in their near victory. Seeing their troops overpowering the Carmilla faction with ease. As Sephiroth Graal manipulated their souls and took out the concepts in it that resulted in their weaknesses. Like sunlight and holy magic.

The two were celebrating with joy, but a sudden explosion rattled the castle from out of nowhere. "Damn, are the Carmilla bitches being desperate? They must have sent a suicide squad to try and take victory. Too bad, our strongest elites are here." King Tepes laughed at their tactics, but he was terribly wrong.

"Knock knock, it's me! The kool-aid gal!" Astolfo bursted out of the dust and began slicing up the vampires in the place.

Atalanta shot the mages in the backline with amazing accuracy and speed. As Arcueid walked while the two took care of the mooks like a Mafia boss.

Arcueid took out a throne and sat on it. Putting her palm on her chin, just waiting for the enemies to come while Atalanta and Astolfo killed the mobs.

After a few minutes, a large retinue of vampires that were led by a young man and a more mature one.

"Who are you, invaders? You're not a part of the Carmilla faction." King Tepes asked with anxiety as almost all of their guards got killed and Arcueid just sat there, menacingly. Keeping a tight hold on her aura or they will just turn into a shivering mess.

"That doesn't matter, trash. Give the girl to us right now. And I will give you an easy death, how about that?" Arcueid announced, clearly impatient with her tone.

King Tepes and Marius gritted their teeth, Marius contacted some back up already and smirked. As his backer that helped him research Sephiroth Graal was a strong individual from the old Satan faction.

"Attack them!" The arrogant Marius ordered their elite guards. "Better than the earlier ones, but better garbage is still waste." Atalanta fired a miniature version of her noble phantasm at the ceiling so they won't accidentally hurt the target.

Light arrows rained from the ceiling and they were powerless to move forward, using their magic to create a shield. Protecting them from the barrage, but they were pinned down.

Astolfo then assassinated them one by one. With Atalanta's newfound control due to training, she could will her arrows in another direction instead of randomly falling. So Astolfo was free to kill the vampires like they were hunting.

"Santolfo has a gift for you this Christmas! A stabby stabby!" Astolfo kept on killing them with one stab through the head with his sword and Atalanta's Phoebus Catastrophe began going through their accumulative shield.

Suddenly, Astolfo's sword got stopped by a hand that grabbed onto it. Astolfo looked at the assailant and it was a silver haired man with a goatee, looking like a total douche.

"Hmmm, we can't have that. They're quite important to my plans you see, especially the girlie that's here." The douchebag mused and punched Astolfo who flew. Making Atalanta catch him, they then crashed onto the walls of the castle.

"Hoh? You're pretty strong, aren't you? You goatee sporting douchebag?" Arcueid got interested and she cracked her knuckles.

The man's eyebrows twitched as he was quite the proud devil. Being the son of Lucifer morningstar. And the only super devil at the old Satan faction.

"Why hello there, I am Rizevim Livan Lucifer. Can you go away please?" He mockingly negotiated, thinking that Arcueid was just a Satan class fighter.

"You insult me? An ultimate one? You must be out of your goddamned mind. You think you're probably hot stuff aren't you?" Arcueid spawned scales and her horns appeared. The castle immediately got flattened from the pressure of her mana as she knew that the target was a bit further away in a separate building. Astolfo and Atalanta agreed that they couldn't handle the new guy, so they quickly retrieved the target.

"Well, remember the last name you'll ever hear in your life, old man. I am Arcueid Brunestud, the true ancestor and ruler of his conquerors. The emperor of countless worlds, Einheri-sama. Come 5th familiar! Regulus Aurum!" Black and red lightning arced all over the place as the castle imploded from the ultra dense mana that formed.

Lightning rained from the sky all over Romania. A storm of lightning bolts crashed onto the ground everywhere, glassing the country bit by bit. A lion made of pure lightning roared, its red eyes glaring at Rizevim who was frowning heavily.

"How about I let one of my pets play with you for a bit?" Arcueid nodded at Regulus and the familiar faced the vampires and devil. Without prior warning, it released a roar and a thick beam of lightning was released from its mouth. Superheated plasma melted everything in its path and a violent thunderclap resounded. Lightning hit the lands like an apocalyptic storm.

__

Meanwhile, at the Leviathan territory in the underworld. Runeas who was riding her new camel that she absolutely adored. Pouted at the goddamned fortress that was floating in the sky as she travelled alone on the ground.

"Meanie, my new companions are meanies! They left us alone here at the ground, Ms. Floofy! And we're supposed to be the leader of this mission." Runeas puffed her cheeks and the camel licked her face to pacify her.

"Thanks Ms. Floofy, you're definitely my best companion right now." Runeas then used her divination to locate their target. She grinned as she saw a couple of familiar faces.

"Shalba Beelzebub and Creuserey Asmodeus huh? Those kids are in for a pretty nice surprise then." Runeas smirked, amused that she will be killing the last descendants of the original Satans.

"Runeas-san, are we there yet?" Semiramis asked through a mic from the hanging gardens of Babylon with a bored tone.

"Gunununu! Why don't you try and find it by yourself! You lazy bimbo!" Runeas got mad and Semiramis gasped.

"Bimbo!? Why you old hag! You're thousands upon thousands of years old! I don't know why Ein-sama recruited you, but I'm definitely better than you!" Semiramis and Runeas started quarrelling.

"Stop, you're wasting energy with using the mic." Fran tasered Semiramis with a discharge from her finger and she twitched from the sudden shock.

"Yeah, just shut up will ya? Are you really doubting his decision? I'm going to tell on Aponia-sama." Mordred had an evil smirk on her face and Semiramis paled.

The group traveled for a bit more time and they were led by Runeas at an abandoned looking settlement.

"What? This is it? Are you sure you aren't lost? You old hag?" Semiramis antagonized Runeas once again and the ancestor of the Gremory got pissed.

"You wanna go? I'll show you how to go!" Runeas casted her magic, and with her immense experience. As well as control from being one of the first devils. She easily tricked Semiramis with a feint.

A magic circle appeared above Semiramis and she created a barrier for it with a snort. But the real attack was under her, decreasing the friction of the floor. Semiramis then slipped and hit her face on the ground, making Mordred bust out laughing.

"Take that you bimbo!" Runeas huffed and while they were quarrelling, some devils appeared and didn't look friendly.

"You trespass at the Leviathan territory! Leave now or we will retaliate!" The devils poised to attack and Mordred jumped down from the invisible fortress that was cloaked. Receiving a couple of few upgrades.

"Yo, we aren't here to fight. We're looking for someone with sleeping sickness, you know her? Our master offers to heal her up." Mordred was calmer now and the devils weren't really that unreasonable at their demands. So she tried bargaining first. As being a good communicator was a trait of a king.

"What!? How did you know her!? Who sent you!?" The leader of the devils got even more wary and Semiramis rolled her eyes at Mordred's poor skills in being a diplomat.

"Our master, Ein-sama, ring any bells? How about you just give the girl to us, you can't heal her anyway." Semiramis informed them and the devils got shocked.

"Hey! I got that one in the bag you know!?" Mordred glared at the fortress and Semiramis snorted. "Yeah, as if. Your majesty, you suck at diplomacy and you know it."

"Wait... Really? Can you really cure Ingvild-sama? She contracted the devil sleeping disease. She's been sleeping for a hundred years now." The devils murmured and the leader received hope. As they just got news that Katerea Leviathan was killed by Azazel and they just couldn't see Serafall as a true Leviathan.

"Well, yeah. Our master is awesome! Even gave me this cute camel over here." Runeas boasted and the devils suddenly lost confidence in them.

Suddenly the devils were attacked by bees that emitted demonic power from their stingers. Runeas quickly shielded them and Fran also entered the fray.

"Creuserey. It seems we've got some competition for the Leviathan girl." A brown haired man haughtily looked down on them.

"Shalba, just get rid of them quickly. Rizevim needs the girl, we've got the cup. We will definitely have great progress in our plans if we capture her." His companion with black hair didn't care much about them and wanted to get what they came for.

"It seems we're at an impasse, how about you just let it go and run back to your mommy and daddy? Oh, I forgot. They're dead!" Runeas laughed and the two got furious.

"Damn, you have a poisonous tongue Runeas." Mordred gave her a thumbs up and the Gremory ancestor puffed her chest in pride.

"How about you show me a little of your prowess, Mo-chan, Fran-chan?" Runeas smiled at the two and Fran nodded, while Mordred smirked.

"Yeah, I've got to test the little toys that Ein-sama gave me. And they're the perfect little test subjects." Mordred cracked her neck and Fran took out a new hammer that was different from the one she used in the holy grail war.

"Hey, you got a little something too? What is it?" Mordred looked at Fran in interest and she tilted her head. "Dunno?"

Runeas gave a wry smile and Mordred almost slipped from the surprising answer. "Ein-sama called it Mjölnir. And it's great, has a lot of electricity." Fran rubbed it and gave a rare smile.

"Woah... So that thing is a divine weapon." Mordred looked at it curiously and wanted to see how Fran will use it.

"Now now, let's figure those things out later. Those two babies are gonna cry anytime soon." Runeas pointed at the two descendants of the Satans and they were about to attack. A swarm of bees surrounded them and multiple magic circles from Asmodeus were around.

"Go." Fran started spinning on the spot and at her highest velocity, threw her hammer. Mjölnir flew like a bullet and smacked Shalba, square on the chest. Shattering his sternum, lightning then fell as a deafening thunderclap resounded.

"That... Was awesome!" Mordred cheered and Creuserey went wide eyed. "You're not Thor! Who the hell are you! How do you have that hammer!?" Asmodeus was confused and Fran just tilted her head.

"Shut up you bitch. You're mine. I've been wanting to try this, and being connected to Ein-sama gave me a little boost too. Twice Critical, balance breaker." Mordred willed for her balance breaker and it seemed that nothing happened. But all her stats got doubled.

But the main caveat of her subspecies balance breaker was it doubled the instance of her every attack. And the broken thing was, depending on every sword she created with blade blacksmith. It multiplied her stats even further.

She then took out Clarent and created another holy blade for her offhand. Her stats then quadrupled, giving her a pretty addicting boost of strength.

"Hehehe~ This feels nice... Have at thee, you devil bitch!" Mordred taunted Asmodeus and the magic circles fired their spells at her.

Tons of magic flew towards Mordred, from elemental spells to demonic energy that will explode upon impact. But she dodged them all with her newfound speed and reinforcement.

She then used her mana burst and her fist got coated with her signature red lightning. But it was far more thicker.

"Eat this, you mage bastard!" Mordred slugged him on the face and the devil crashed on the ground. Dust exploding from his violent fall to the earth.

"Wow! Mo-chan and Fran-chan are super cool!" Runeas cheered them on. Fran willed Mjölnir to come back to her and Mordred landed on the ground with a smile.

"Is that it? Are these guys really the descendants of the Satans? Aren't they a bit too weak?" Mordred sighed and was disappointed.

"Hmm, they're pretty crafty, don't count them out yet." Runeas winked at them and a violet fog suddenly appeared. Runeas already protected herself, but Fran and Mordred inhaled a pretty good amount of it.

"Shit, filthy cowards!" Mordred shouted out and held her breath. Fran just looked at the fog, not really minding it. As the electricity in her body with her personal skill galvanism burned it off.

Shalba coughed violently, not in pretty good shape. But he smirked. "You inhaled my poison, that red haired bitch that reminds me of the fake Lucifer got a barrier in. But we'll take care of her once we kill you two." He laughed and Mordred glared at them.

They then summoned a lot of magicians and devils that were a part of their faction. As they of course don't play fair as devils.

"Heh, you overestimate yourself punk." Mordred concentrated and started using Clarent. "You think you've won!? Father would be stronger than you while using a stick! Clarent Blood Arthur!"

Mordred swung her two blades, a red beam of energy and a white one got released from her swords. The fog got taken out and the numerous devils and magicians perished from her aoe attack.

Shalba and Creuserey dodged, but Mordred smirked as another set of beams followed because of her balance breaker.

They got hit and Shalba lost an arm from dodging at the last second. While Creuserey lost a leg, screaming in pain as he was hit by the holy sword.

"Poison, huh? That's bad." Fran frowned at them and raised Mjölnir at the sky. Lightning struck the hammer like a lightning rod and she leaped into the air.

She then swung the hammer at Creuserey. But because he could fly, he was able to outmaneuver her and just suffer some burns from the stray lightning.

Fran missed and hit the ground, a terrible bolt of lightning exploded from Mjölnir. Blowing away the devils.

"Stop playing, Mordred, Fran. Let me finish these fools off so we can finally go back home. I want to eat Ein-sama's dinner and if I'm lucky, Elysia-sama will be there to give me some tips on how to seduce him." Semiramis uncloaked the fortress and its humongous form got unveiled.

"Tiamtum Uumu, activate!" Semiramis shouted out as she willed for the weapons of the fortress to fire. The structure visibly gathered mana and Runeas knew that was dangerous as hell.

It stopped converging mana and everything went silent for a second. A violet light flickered from the fortress and it suddenly released a laser that split the Leviathan territory in half.

The landscape then exploded, like a nuclear bomb made of mana detonated. Molten lava and rock flew everywhere and went back down to fall. Causing even more destruction as meteorites that impacted the ground.

"Holy shit! You're crazy Semiramis!" Mordred and Fran flew away from the shockwave as they hugged each other.

Meanwhile, Runeas just stared at the aftermath and thought they really were insane.

After the dust settled, Mordred and Fran took the dust off of them and glared at the fortress. "Warn us first you damned crazy bitch!" Mordred shouted out, complaining.

"Not my problem, besides. You guys weren't the target anyway. Now, let's find that target." Semiramis just shrugged and thought she should have done that from the beginning.

__

At the familiar forest, Artoria lead Issei and Siegfried. Going into the middle of the place where they could definitely sense a strong aura.

"Do you guys think Tiamat here will be strong as heck? I don't know about you, but I hope she isn't the same as our Tiamat." Siegfried made small talk and Artoria nodded.

"I sure hope so, but Ein-sama already told us that isn't the case. Gilgamesh and Ishtar also told us it is unlikely. And they'll definitely assist us otherwise." Artoria assured them and Issei was quite confused.

"Sorry about this, but I don't know why you guys are really worried about this Tiamat. And was she the woman with really big horns that was playing cards? She looks pretty harmless to me." Issei didn't knew and only remembered having read about the dragon king Tiamat.

"Well, kid. That harmless woman with unique pupils is what you'd call a beast. Not in the literal sense, but a beast are beings in our world that could end humanity as you know it. Saying they're dangerous is an understatement. And she's most likely the strongest beast if she actively tries to attack you. Except Primate murder who is hyper specialized in killing humans like us." Siegfried explained.

At Babylonia, Tiamat needed King Hassan's mark of death, a grand servant candidate, 4 divine spirits, a divine beast, authority of Kur, Gilgamesh with Ea, and Kingu's sacrifice in using Enuma Elish to unleash the chains of heaven. All while Tiamat was actively sealing herself and wanting to lose.

And Ein gave her a structured mind, skills, control, a purpose. She would slap anyone that wanted to harm her or her new family.

"Ahhh, so that woman was that strong huh? I guess looks can be deceiving." Issei got a lesson from that and nodded sagely.

"Enough of that talk, let's go and get Tiamat. But I have a feeling that she won't be too receptive to our offer." Artoria had a gut feeling and they advanced to the middle of the familiar forest.

They happened upon on a cave which was saturated with the aura of a dragon. Siegfried confirmed it as he was the most sensitive to a dragon's aura.

"Yeah, she's here. Hah, Tiamat huh? Hey kid, you think you can fight Satans yet? Ones on the level of Lucifer back then?" Ddraig sighed and asked Issei.

"What? Why the sudden question Ddraig?" Issei had a bad feeling and Ddraig laughed. "You know that dragons love their treasure right? I kinda destroyed some of hers back then. If I remember correctly, it were little peaches from the jade emperor. I was going to brag about it to Albion, but I kinda got sealed." Ddraig reminisced.

"You what!? Damn... So we're going to have to fight huh? And she's the strongest dragon king." Issei massaged his temples and they heard a sniffing sound.

"Ddraig! You little! Give me back my treasures you punk!" They prepared for battle immediately as a rampaging dragon was not good news.

"Damn, kid. You're on your own, Tiamat is pretty scary when she's angry." Ddraig gave a nervous chuckle and Issei frowned.

They saw a blue western dragon that had scales that shone like the clearest sapphire. Owing to her hygiene and vanity as a woman. Even though she is a dragon, she still likes to look good of course.

"You come here Ddraig!? I hope your little wielder has my peaches of immortality! Those were really delicious. Ahem, I mean, important!" Tiamat roared and Artoria sighed.

"Umm, Tiamat-san. Excuse me, but we are actually sent here by Ein-sama, our master to recruit you." Artoria didn't know what to say and she was sure that they'll lose the opportunity if she didn't offer it now.

"Recruitment? And why do you feel like Ddraig too. Fafnir as well with that other man." Tiamat squinted her eyes and they thought it wasn't going well already.

"Uhh, ahem. Have you heard of our lord and savior, Ein-sama? He's the best you know?" Artoria got some lessons from Asia to potentially recruit people and she said it really seriously.

"You are playing tricks with me! Who do you think I am? I'm the strongest of the dragon kings! Ddraig, if you don't have my treasure, then die!" Negotiations broke down and Tiamat immediately breathed out blue flames that burned down the whole familiar forest.

"Shit! This is all your fault Ddraig! You should've told us about this from the start!" Issei complained as he dodged the flames or he'll get burnt to a crisp.

"Uhh, I kinda forgot?" Ddraig laughed and Issei entered his balance breaker. "Wait, listen. We don't really want to fight, this will definitely be better if we talk about this first." Siegfried tried reasoning, but Tiamat was full of rage from Ddraig's sins against her.

"Shit, she'll burn down the whole forest. Fo Krah Diin!" Siegfried used his dragon shout. Frost and cold froze Tiamat's flames that were continuing to burn everything to the ground and Tiamat was surprised. "Mid Vur Shaan!" Siegfried buffed his team and they nodded at him with thanks.

"You'll burn this forest, calm down!" Artoria used a mana burst and uppercutted Tiamat. True to its name, a sudden explosion of mana got released from her fist as it hit Tiamat's chin. Parting the clouds from the force of her blow.

Tiamat shook her head as she got dizzy for a second, but she was a bonafide dragon. Her scales softened the blow and her thick hide diminished the force even further.

The blue dragon roared and while Artoria was in mid air from jumping to reach Tiamat's head. A furious swipe of her tail tried whipping her.

"Feim Zii Gron!" Siegfried turned Artoria into an ethereal form. Artoria nodded at him, but it was quite redundant. As she was basically invulnerable with Avalon except against special weapons.

"Boost x 10!" Issei instantly boosted his body ten times and he lunged at Tiamat's outstretched tail. He then grasped it and did a judo throw at her right at Siegfried's location.

"Mul Qah Diiv!" Siegfried was coated by a white aura as dragon wings made of energy appeared at his back. His dragon core roaring to life, being buffed with a dragon's strength with his shout.

Siegfried put his hands on Tiamat's back and he performed a power bomb. The familiar forest shaked violently as Tiamat crashed onto the ground.

"Siegfried-san, use this! Transfer." Issei transferred his accumulated boosts and Siegfried felt like he was going to explode from the sudden strength gain.

"If you don't want to talk this out, then we'll fight! Balmung!" Siegfried took out his noble phantasm and Tiamat felt the dragon slaying aspect of the sword.

A blue sword made of pure true ether got formed and Tiamat was in awe at the thing. She then shook her head and felt like she can't accept defeat as a dragon.

She charged up a breath attack and condensed the energy as much as she could. Siegfried then swung his sword at her and Tiamat released a blue beam of pure heat at the attack.

Her effort was valiant and would've been much more effective if Siegfried's np wasn't a dragon slayer that was boosted exponentially. But of course, she lost. Balmung can fight against Vasavi Shakti after all. Even just for a moment.

Artoria then cancelled the incoming blade with her new Excalibur without a sweat. Looking at Tiamat who has exhausted her energy but was still looking ready to scuffle.

"You ready to listen? Hah, this wouldn't have been a problem if we knew Ddraig's run in with her earlier." Artoria sighed and looked at Issei.

"What? It wasn't my fault that Ddraig didn't tell me." Issei shrugged and cursed his dragon in his mind.

"What do you want with me?" Tiamat squinted her eyes and was suspicious of them. "We told you already, our master Ein-sama requested of us to come and get you for his peerage." Artoria explained once again.

"I didn't enter Ajuka's peerage even though I was indebted to him! What'd make you think that I'll get into a devil's peerage who can't even go here on his own to conquer me?" Tiamat was not impressed and thought that he just relies on his servants.

"Ahhh, that's where you're wrong actually... Issei here will definitely not be able to defeat you at his current state. But me and Artoria will win against you 10 times out of 10. Even if there were a couple of dozen of you. Ein-sama? He could probably look at Ophis and Great Red and they'll implode like a watermelon." Siegfried defended Ein and Tiamat went wide eyed.

"Speaking of Ophis, she's kind of his kid right now too. And his real kids beat up great red using some metal pipes and baseball bats. Shit was wild." Siegfried told some stories and Tiamat was shocked.

"Un, our custodian is also at great red and Ophis' level. She can destroy planets casually, so you're kind of in luck that she wasn't the one that was tasked to get you. Though you can refuse if you really don't want to." Artoria shrugged and Tiamat got into a deep thought.

"I see... Let me see if what you're saying is true first. Then I'll accept, if you're lying. Then I'll rampage until the end and take anyone that I can, down with me." Tiamat huffed and transformed to her human self. (pic)

"Then, let's go. Our master is in the underworld right now. So it's good timing, we are in the realm already after all." Issei gestured for them to return.

At England, Jeanne was walking around and using her senses to look for a strong holy aura. She found one that was a probably hit and went to a cafe.

"Now... Where could that person be?" Jeanne looked around and she saw a pretty gloomy looking girl with auburn hair.

Jeanne felt her negative emotions and the girl was quite depressed. The blonde went to her table and sat down in front of her target.

"Hi, what's your name?" Jeanne smiled and the girl looked at her lazily. "Does it matter? But if you wanna know, I'm Meredith. And leave me alone mate." Meredith shooed her away and Jeanne thought it would be pretty hard to convince her.

"I see, but something's troubling you. I'm not one to brag, but I think I can help with that." Jeanne smiled at her and the girl snorted.

"Can you make the royal family acknowledge me as a legitimate member of the family? I don't think so." Meredith rolled her eyes and Jeanne smirked. Learning from the best has corrupted her.

"Well, I can't. But I know someone who can." Jeanne gave a knowing smile and Meredith squinted her eyes. She then used Alpecca Tyrant's ability to manipulate people to make her go away. Thinking she was a scammer or something.

But Jeanne of course just shrugged it off as she had tons of mana and holy aura. "Who are you?" Meredith became wary and Jeanne gave her a little bow.

"I'm Jeanne d'Arc. And my master has been quite interested in you and your ability." Jeanne introduced herself formally and Meredith was shocked.

"What? Jeanne d'Arc. But that's impossible, the current possessor of her spirit is missing from the church. Unless... You're the real one!? But how is that so? You're dead for hundreds of years!" Meredith was confused and Jeanne gave a wry smile.

"Well, let's just say it's because of my master. So? How about it, what do you say of my offer?" Jeanne stared at her and Meredith squinted her eyes.

"What's in it for me? I don't know you or your master. What will be the trade off?" Meredith was suspicious as she has lived her life, knowing that many people will take advantage of her.

"Easy, anything you want most likely. Ein-sama can give it to you, believe it or not. After all, he is a god." Jeanne tried baiting her in.

"Sounds fishy, I don't know about you. But this sounds like a scam." Meredith was apprehensive about the offer.

"Well, our group took down Hades and his realm. That should give you enough information to accept or not. Besides, won't the royal family of England regret it once they know that you're in a group as prestigious as ours?" Jeanne raised a brow and she thought that she sounded kind of like a tempting devil.

Meredith went quiet, processing the information. As she knew the news of what happened at Olympus.

"A-are you being honest? You're not lying?" Meredith's voice trembled as she had a pretty big revelation lately. That the royal family doesn't acknowledge her as one of them.

"Why yes of course. Imagine how they'll react when they learn that you are in our faction. I'm not boasting or anything, but one of our members is king Arthur. The original one, England's royal family doesn't hold a candle to that." Jeanne shrugged and Meredith was shaken.

"I... I accept, I want them to see how much more successful I'll be. That I will be in the spotlight. And it will be a great story to tell my friend that I met the real king Arthur." Meredith chuckled, remembering her best friend. Le Fay Pendragon, her mage friend from the magician organization of the golden dawn.

"Yes, just come with me then. Let's meet with your new comrades in arms." Jeanne smiled at her and offered her hand.

'Forgive me lord, for I have tricked this girl into being in our little group. Ahhh, he basically sanctioned this right? I'm not sinning, right?' Jeanne had a battle in her mind and they teleported to the underworld.

__

Back with Arcueid, Regulus Aurum returned to his master and she watched the surroundings. Knowing that Rizevim didn't die quite yet.

"Scary, I could give a job for a person like you." Rizevim acted confident, but he was never closer to death than before and he knew it. That attack would've disintegrated him, atom by atom.

"Hmph, false bravado. A classic, but I'm not ordinary, devil. I can smell it, sense it, feel it. You're scared." Arcueid grinned at him and claws appeared from her fingertips.

Rizevim frowned heavily and Arcueid thought she'd have some fun for a bit. She then got a message from Astolfo that they secured the target and would meet up with her at the underworld.

"You've yee'd your last haw. I don't have a reason to keep my attacks in check you see? But I'll hold back just for little old you. I don't like beating up geriatric people you see?" Arcueid smirked and she suddenly disappeared.

Rizevim tried to react and create a barrier on him. But Arcueid was too fast and she backhanded Rizevim to oblivion. "That's for my little junior, Astolfo. And I can feel Sephiroth Graal on you, I'll enjoy ripping it out of you while you're alive." Arcueid licked her lips.

"Come, 12th one. Alrescha-Glacies." A familiar that looked like a siren appeared from Arcueid's mana and the surroundings went deathly cold. Romania suddenly began freezing and global temperatures started to decrease.

Alrescha began singing and the temperature began to dip like the stock market during the great depression. Absolute zero made everything slow down. Reality was bent to the siren's will as her song began to freeze the world and bury it in ice.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers of land turned into a frozen wasteland and Rizevim was only able to escape by teleporting high up in the sky. But that's as far as he could go, the space around them was locked and teleportation spells were being jammed by Arcueid's mana.

"Ahhh, I might need to cool down a bit. Hey, old man. This is all your fault, a lot of people probably died because of that." Arcueid squinted her eyes at him.

"What do you mean me? You damned monster." Rizevim was exasperated and thought of ways to escape there.

"Wait a second and stay there, I just might get punished by my master if this continues. 11th one, come and reverse all of the world's suffering, Sadalmelik-Albus." A lamia like familiar appeared, a snake and an undine combined.

The familiar released a watery substance. And the country of Romania returned to its initial state before the battle. Her power to return everything and anything back to nothing did its thing. Restoring all the damage Arcueid did.

"How damned ridiculous, hehe, hahaha!" Rizevim looked at how everything returned and thought that even Yahweh cannot do that. He then couldn't help but laugh in the absurdity of it all.

"Natra-Cinereus, protect this land with your mist." Arcueid summoned another familiar and it was a silver crayfish that had blue flames on the tips of its limbs.

A mist then started to propagate and it turned everything it touched, ethereal. It was also strong enough to ward off reality warping at the level of its other familiar companions.

"You just gonna fly around like a little bitch? Then so be it, 7th one. Kiffa-Ater, make the world fall down and kneel." Arcueid raised her hand and a demonic sword that's alive materialized. Gravity then increased thousands of times.

Rizevim couldn't react and crashed onto the ground. He coughed up blood as his body got compressed to the limit because of the gravity. His bones creaking, his organs turning into mush.

"That's a much better view. Trash, crawling on the ground like a little worm. I'll be enjoying this, more than you ever will. Kyahahaha!" Arcueid laughed like a maniac and took the sword that was 100 meters long into her hand.

She then swung it down and everything in the slash's trajectory became dust. Super strong gravity crashing at the earth violently.

"Albus, heal him up dear." Arcueid ordered the undine and she put Rizevim in her hands, reversing all the damage he received.

"I grow weary of you and your lot. I'll be taking back what's not yours, filthy pilferer." Arcueid's clawed hands plunged onto his chest and Rizevim screamed from the pain.

"You like it? You're a devil from the old Satan faction right? You really like to do evil deeds and be a douchebag right? I wonder, how many people did you kill like a dog for your foolish ambitions. I'll slowly destroy your soul, it would be my little gift for those people." Arcueid twisted her hand and slowly but surely corrupted his soul.

"Shaula-Viola, let your poison flow freely. Destroy this foolish mongrel's soul." A white tiger appeared and roared. Purple flames coating its fur. It then used its most vicious poison that corrodes spirits and souls slowly. Using the mana of the person hit to prolong it indefinitely.

Rizevim will be suffering soul searing pain literally. As his spirit get chipped away bit by bit, his mind will be broken and next in line would be his soul. Doomed forever to not enter the cycle of reincarnation due to Shaula's poison, corroding his soul to nothingness.

"Kyahahaha! You like that? Feels good? What'd I hear? You want to do it all over again!? Good, good. I'll let Albus heal you up then!" Arcueid laughed like a maniac and Rizevim's wide open eyes that was crying tears of blood.

He felt the overwhelming fear of being erased. Seeing Arcueid that was laughing like a maniac, overjoyed with his suffering and soon to be, death. Her insane cruelty made him think again on how to be a true devil. She just gave him the idea that he could fight. But Arcueid was just playing with her prey as an apex predator.

Arcueid ripped one of the pieces of Sephiroth Graal from him that was the subspecies Longinus of Valerie Tepes. She spawned three cups and her asshole brother and Rizevim stole two of them from her.

She then got the other one as the other grail was sitting around in the air without an owner. As Marius Tepes died like an insect with his father.

"Hmm, I guess I should welcome the new addition. She's also a vampire too." Arcueid teleported to the underworld.

__

At the Gremory household, the first to arriver was of course Jeanne. A confused Meredith looked around and saw the ridiculously large estate of the duke house.

"Wait, why is the sky all weird like that?" Meredith was curious and Jeanne sighed. "That's how it is in the underworld. I don't know what tell you." Jeanne gave a sheepish smile.

"What? The underworld!? Then, is your master a devil! You tricked me!" Meredith felt betrayed once again, but Jeanne smacked her on the head with her flag.

"No, I didn't. Rude, our master is just here in the underworld for now you dunce." Jeanne flared up her holy aura and it was even more than Alpecca Tyrant. Shocking the ginger.

"Besides, you don't have a soul to take. You're a ginger." Jeanne chuckled and Meredith gasped. "You didn't... Get out." Meredith deadpanned at her.

They then entered the residence and was escorted to the saloon where Ein and co. were. "Ahhh, Jeanne. Nice work, so she's here eh? How about it, kid? Want to join and have some delicious candies?" Ein smiled at her and he also had Ophis and Kunou at his lap, making Meredith think he was a lolicon.

"Ummm, Jeanne-san... Is your master perhaps a deviant? He has two kids on him!" Meredith shouted out and Ein pouted at her.

"Kunou, that girl is insulting dad. Are you gonna let her get away with it?" Ein patted Kunou's head with a faux sad expression.

"You have insulted my excellent dad. You leave me no choice! Die!" Kunou lunged at her and Meredith thought she would get killed. But Kunou just punched her and it was pretty soft.

"Go get em Kunou!" The kids cheered her on and Kunou continued punching Meredith. But she got tired after a minute.

"So, anyways. What do you want kid? Power, prestige, glory?" Ein gave a look at her and Meredith shivered at his sudden change in atmosphere as she subconsciously kneeled.

"I... I just want to get back on the royal family of England. They treated me like a nuisance, like trash that was irremovable." Meredith frowned heavily and Ein nodded.

"Then show them your new form as my bishop. Take this and shine, we are tyrants. Absolute rulers, what's a monarchy going to do, against gods?" Ein put a bishop piece in her and Meredith went unconscious from the sudden connection to him.

"Geez, you really like to give people that sudden pep talk Ein-sama. It's unfair really, they just fall into it and can't refuse." Jeanne shook her head and Ein chuckled.

After Jeanne put her on a couch, Runeas appeared with Mordred and Semiramis. "Nyahallo, we're home~" Runeas that was riding her camel was holding a girl with purple hair that was unconscious.

"Hmm, I guess that Serafall will have a sister as a Leviathan huh? Maybe she'll learn of it later when she hears that the Leviathan territory got split in half." Ein smirked and thought of how Serafall would react. Maybe spoil the girl instead of her.

"Ein-sama, so? How'd you wake her up then? I don't doubt you can, but how?" Runeas was really interested as the disease that Ingvild was suffering has plagued devils from the beginning of their race. And even Ajuka can't make a cure for it.

"I just give her one of my pieces, ez pz." Ein put a bishop piece in Ingvild and she suddenly gasped, serpents of water sprung to life. Ingvild then suddenly opened her eyes and looked around the place.

"Wh-where am I?" The purple haired girl timidly asked as she stared at Ein who she felt a connection to from the piece. (pic)

"You're at the Gremory house. I woke you up, sleepyhead. Did you have a good sleep?" Ein patted her head and she felt warm. As his energy flowed right into her.

"I... I had a long dream. And I was alone, thank you. For waking me up." Ingvild gave a timid smile at Ein and he gave her a milkshake. "Here, eating something will be nice after a long nap." Ein chuckled and Ingvild started sipping on it.

As Ingvild slowly warmed up to the other people in the saloon. Artoria's dragon team returned with Tiamat in tow.

"So, who's their master?" Tiamat squinted her eyes at the people there and Ein smirked at her. "Hmm, you got your ass beat. I don't think you're the one in control here. Especially because you're a dragon." Ein stood up and walked up to her. His eyes turning into slits.

"T-that's true... Wait! I'm not a little pet! Tell me, what do you want and why should I join you?" Tiamat furrowed her brows and was quite conflicted. As dragons that have been beaten must follow the winner. But she has pride as a dragon king.

"Well, for starters. You'll get stronger, much stronger than even Ddraig, Albion, and Crom Cruach." Ein shrugged and Tiamat went wide eyed.

"You're lying..." Tiamat was in denial as she knew how strong the heavenly dragons were. Even a single one of them was feared by Yahweh. And when they rampaged at the middle of the three-way war. The three factions had to work together to defeat them. Numerous ultimate class beings and high class soldiers died from that clash.

"Well it's natural to be apprehensive. Let me show you then, who I really am." Ein snapped his fingers and Tiamat received a vision of his epic against the honkai.

Tiamat then froze for a second, digesting all the information that she received. She just stared at Ein and didn't know what to say.

"And you really like shiny things too, right?" Ein gave her a convoluted necklace made of a blue diamond. It was also a priceless treasure that could answer any question that the user asks. It was called the gem of insight.

"Goddamn, that's ridiculous. Isn't this thing an omniscient necklace?" Tiamat looked at the ridiculous jewelry and Ein shrugged.

"Eh, I can make tons of those really. Supply and demand, it's useless to us. But it's a priceless treasure for you guys. And that's just the signing bonus!" Ein recruited her like he was in a pyramid scheme.

"A-alright... I guess I'll join." Tiamat looked at her companions and they were all ridiculously strong. Except a few exceptions that don't have OP circumstances like Atalanta and Astolfo.

"Ein-sama~" We've got the vampire from the Tepes faction! Arcueid-san was in a really bad mood and would've destroyed Romania, but she rectified her mistakes." Astolfo announced as they teleported to the saloon. With a girl that was in bad shape.

"Hmmm, that girl's soul is exhausted. She probably would need tons of time to recover. It's a miracle she's still alive, it must be because of that golden grail inside of her." Bayonetta checked her out and Atalanta frowned.

"Hah, it's fine. She'll be alright once I give her a piece." Ein put a pawn piece in her chest and she visibly got better. Her paper white skin got some color and her malnourished body received muscle and fat once again. (pic)

"Ugh, leave me alone." The girl was suffering the aftereffects of overusing Sephiroth Graal. Her soul and mind was being contaminated by the dead. Even though her soul and mind are clean now, the memories just won't disappear.

"Let her rest, maybe show Gasper-kun his friend later. I'm sure that Valerie would be really happy to see her only friend in the Tepes faction be Dio." Ein nodded in satisfaction at the thought and Atalanta took her to a couch as well.

Arcueid then returned after a few minutes. "Ein-samaaa~ can I have a little sip? Please?" Arcueid clung to Ein and he sighed.

"You guys are too spoiled, but sure I guess. You guys did work hard." Ein patted her head and Arcueid cheered, she then licked his neck, sniffing his scent to forget the foul stench of the Tepes vampires.

"Ahhh~ I just can't get enough of this." Arcueid then bit his neck and started sucking his blood.

"Oh my~ Such a lewd vampire she is. Makes me want to have fangs and have a little taste as well." Bayonetta winked at him and Arcueid glared at her.

"Mine!" Arcueid hugged Ein tightly and was really possessive of her spot.

"Okay, once they all wake up. Let's go to the venue for our formal reveal. If I remember correctly, the youth devil gathering has many gods in it as well." Ein smiled at them and the servants were excited.

"Dad, are we gonna beat up people?" The Kaslana twins asked, wanting to smack a devil or two.

"Un, I want to test my blade. Chichi-ue, school has been pretty boring and we need to cut someone. Or our blade will become dull." Akira looked at her sword, Izumi and Haku agreed.

"Okay, fine fine. There'll be rating games there, I guess you can join." Ein shrugged and thought that Sairaorg, Sona, and Rias will be the only ones that could put up a fight against them.

"Ohhh! That's what I'm talking about!" Alexis cheered and they were pretty excited.

"Not for me though, I'll just play with Kunou and Ophis, beating up some smelly dudes isn't for me." Anahaat snorted and Laplace also wanted to fiddle with her new supply of Adamantine.

"Watching Jeanne barbecue that devil was really exciting, maybe I'll burn up a few too!" Musubi was fired up.

"Then let's rouse these guys up. I already put the necessary information in their heads so they won't be confused and ignorant." Ein squirted a water gun at the unconscious Valerie and Meredith.

Astolfo and Atalanta gave back the two Sephiroth grails to Valerie that was stolen and that made her wake up.

While Meredith frowned in her sleep as she got drenched by the water gun.

__

At the venue of the youth devils' gathering. Rias and Sona entered the place in their pajamas, showing that they do not want to be there at all. As it would be a dick measuring contest. And the young devils are too sheltered or arrogant.

"This farce is gonna take forever, I wish it would end in a heartbeat." Sona scoffed and Rias rolled her eyes.

"You know that rating games will be done too, Sona. The devil council and the Satans will ask what's your ambition too." Rias sighed heavily and was not looking forward to the event.

"Yo, Rias, Sona. It's been a long time!" A black haired young man with violet eyes greeted them.

"Sairaorg! It's good to see you again, how have you been?" Rias hugged him and Sona gave a nod at him.

"You look well, Sairaorg. I hope you haven't lost your touch. We've been training really hard under monsters." Sona chuckled and their peerage winced.

"So it seems... Your strength was quite surprising. Makes my blood boil." Sairaorg laughed. But suddenly, the wall behind him exploded and a devil from the other pillar families got tossed into the hallway.

"Hmph, punks like you should just crawl into a hole and don't go out of it for the rest of your life." A green haired beauty with red eyes fixed her glasses after using magic to throw out her fellow young devil.

"Seekvaira? What's the meaning of this?" Sona raised a brow at the normally calm and cool girl. "Zephyrdor, this unruly brute is being troublesome. A disgrace to Satan Asmodeus." Seekvaira huffed.

"Seek-chan, long time no see! I see that you're still strict and proper as ever." Rias shrugged and Seekvaira nodded at her.

"You bitch! This is why you're still a little virgin. It would be an honor for women to warm my bed!" The punk shouted out and the group cringed.

"Seekvaira, what did he tell you anyways? I can already infer, but it's nice to have more context." Sairaorg asked the Agares heir.

"He asked me to sleep with him, I politely said no and here we are. Want to die? Disgrace of the Glasya-labolas clan?" Seekvaira was about to use the Agares clan's specialty to manipulate time.

"How uncouth, as expected of a brute. You make the air here unpleasant, filthy garbage." A girl with blonde hair and blue tips that was using a fan like an ojou sama commented. (pic)

"Latia, it's quite nice to see you. Now that creep Diodora got massacred by the new faction. You'll be the heiress now." Seekvaira gave her nod of approval at the new Astaroth heiress.

"You..." Zephyrdor was fuming and was going to explode, but everyone's attention got piqued by the people that walked through the hallway.

Ein was wearing a stylish gray suit while sporting aviators. Looking like a total douche, along with his kids who were trying to look for assholes to beat up.

"Kids, I think that guy right there wants a beating." Bayonetta pointed at the heir of the Glasya-labolas clan and the kids locked onto him like birds of prey.

"You think you're a tough guy, huh!?" Alexis took out a baseball bat and was like a typical delinquent that wanted to fight anybody.

"Bite me, bitch!" Zephyrdor shouted out and lunged at her. Rias and Sona winced immediately as they knew that he would have a bad time.

"Get em!" Alexis started the charge and the delinquent Kaslanas circled around him. Bellatrix hit him on the head with a lead pipe and he crashed to the ground. The others then began beating him up with blunt weapons like gang members.

Alexis then took out a handgun from her waist. A futuristic looking gun, called the Cerevo Dominator. (pic)

"Analyzing individual. Zephyrdor Glasya-labolas, crime index calculating. Multiple counts of sexual assault and murder. Enforcement mode is lethal eliminator, execution mode on standby. Please aim carefully and eliminate the target." The gun transformed and charged up mana.

The hand gun spoke in an emotionless tone. Its AI passing down judgement in a calm and chilling way.

Alexis held him by his hair and put the gun right at his head. "So you're a filthy criminal as well, huh? You'll be a fine example of how the Knick Knack Paddy Whack enforces their laws. And everywhere we go, we are the law."

"No, no! No! Please!" The heir of the Glasya-labolas shouted out in fear upon sensing the amount of mana being generated by the gun. But Alexis pulled the trigger and a small beam hit him.

He screamed in fear and his chest started bloating. His skin bubbling up as the mana inside of him went out of control. He then blew up like a water balloon, spilling his guts and blood everywhere.

"Target eliminated, individual, Zephyrdor Glasya-labolas has been crossed out of the list. Awaiting further targets from the handler. Entering, standby mode." The gun transformed back to a normal looking futuristic firearm.

"W-wow... That's so cool..." Seekvaira looked at the gun that was clearly high tech. Ignoring the screams of terror from the devils that just witnessed a brutal execution in broad daylight.

"Right? Huhun, dad gave our sister the blueprint for this bad boy. Pretty awesome, huh?" Alexis had a smug smile on her face as Seekvaira looked at it in envy.

"Ahhh, I forgot. Seek-chan really loves sci-fi gadgets and mechs. The Agares clan will probably get bankrupt from buying their goods." Rias shook her head, hoping that they won't go broke or something.

"As if you're one to talk? Your room is filled with figurines and manga." Sona scoffed at her and Rias got embarrassed.

"That was amazing, but the gun talks too much. Bullets should be the one doing the talking." Bayonetta was amazed by the dominator, but it wasn't to her taste.

"Well, this will be fun. A guy's already dead, I wonder how many more will die here today?" Ein smiled and the devils got really anxious.

"Uhhh, how much more brutal can they be?" Ingvild was pretty worried and thought they're a bit too gruesome.

"Yes." Achilles answered from the side and thought that guy was lucky he died instantly.

Thanks for reading everyone, I edited the pieces a bit and it is now 10 pawns. As I will be adding a catto to the fray. Anyways, ciao.
